6) PulseTech Functionality
The CINDER 40 controller contains a proprietary, patented PulseTech pulsing circuit that has
been scientifically proven to extend the life of all types of lead acid batteries. This is achieved
using PulseTech’s patented pulsing technology that breaks up the lead sulfates that build up
on the plates inside the battery whenever the battery is discharging.
Sulfates negatively impact battery performance by:
●
Reducing the battery’s ability to discharge power
●
Reducing the battery’s ability to recharge
●
Shortening battery life
Pulse Technology is delivered to the battery through a circuit which is independent of the
charging circuit. This patented, high-frequency pulse waveform is of a specific amplitude and
frequency that is precisely controlled by microprocessors. It rises rapidly in less than one
microsecond to its maximum amplitude and gradually returns to zero. There is no abrupt
stop and no battery drain. This waveform occurs 25,000 times a second and has been proven
to remove sulfation from the battery plates and return the lead sulfate back to the electrolyte
solution.

The pulse circuit is applied on top of the charging waveform. Thus, the pulse circuit requires
the device to be charging in order to function. The PulseTech Pulsing is automatically
enabled on all Lead-Acid/AGM battery profiles and can be turned off in the settings. For all
Lithium battery profiles, the PulseTech pulsing has been disabled to prevent damage to the
battery management system (BMS).
